Pulled the rocker assemblies off on Saturday to inspect things and reassembled it with the hopes of ridding a lound tapping that has been around for awhile.

changed the swivel feet out for new solid adjusting screws as a test, and put it back together.

10 pounds on the rocker assembly nuts

valves to .006


started it up and it ran significantly quieter until i drove it around for a day or two.
then Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap again.

I keep looking out my back window expectiing to see a large black bird pecking at the engine lid.

something is moving around but i have no idea what, and i need to figure it out before the new exhuast gets put on in case i have to end up pulling the heads.
